Beverly, Right Here — While this series is not my favorite of DiCamillo’s, I do appreciate the messages she is conveying about hope and love that some children need to hear. Beverly, Right Here is probably better for older elementary or middle school readers to deal with the running away and Beverly’s mom’s alcoholism.

The Other Woman — I enjoyed listening to The Other Woman as an audiobook. I did guess pretty correctly how the book was going to end, so it would have been nice if it had been a bit more of a surprise. (Even my friends said the same thing about the book, which I found out after I started reading it.) I can see how fans of Tom Clancy would enjoy Daniel Silva books. I don’t often read this genre, but when I do, I want to read an excellent writer who can keep me guessing.
